LG VX8610 additional info, release date

Eager to get a feel of the very first cellphone with an integrated Bluetooth headset? You’re in luck, because last we heard, the LG VX8610 will be released officially on June 16th by Verizon and LG. It might even be available for pre-order from those guys, but only if you know how to ask nicely (and ask specifically for the LG VX8610, of course).

The LG VX8610 is a slider phone with a Bluetooth headset that fits nicely on its back side, much like a detachable extension of the phone itself.

As for pricing, the LG VX8610 will be available for $179.99 with a 2-year contract or $249.99 with a 1-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate. Now that isn’t so bad, since most phones at its level sell for similar prices.
